Clients from Hell! - 08-19-2010, 11:25 PM


I just found this site yesterday...and I've laughed my butt off here in Austin at it.... some of it is SO on the mark that it just kills me...

So I thought I would share:

Clients From Hell

One of my favorites:



After the client received their first set of mock-ups for a Catholic church brochure with a beautiful oil painting on the cover, I received this message:

“Brochure looks great, but we’d prefer to use a photograph of Jesus instead of a painting”

Is it amazing? It must be something in the food chain that is responsible for such thoughts and behavior which have become more prevalent these days... Tri

To get a photo of Jesus, you would have to use a Mt. Olympus camera with a Zues lens (cause Zeiss and Zukio were not born yet!). Wait did I say that? Did I post something that stupid? welll it increased my thread count.

Actually, in a way, you're not that far off. If you were able to travel faster than light and get 2000 light-years away, and had a very powerful telescope...

worse than that, since we know know that the speed of light is decaying, and it was at least 3 times as fast 2000 years ago, you would have to travel even faster, but then since time is a physical property, you could just minipulate time itself
